The walls of this study, along with the exquisitely carved bookcases and furniture, were all made from agarwood that Long Yutian had bought at a high price.
Because they were all pure wood, they were especially prone to catching fire.
The wind fueled the flames, and in no time, most of the books were engulfed in the fiery inferno, the entire study being surrounded by flames…
Long Yutian was stunned.
He had greatly underestimated the woman before him.
She actually dared to set fire to his property, utterly clueless to the severity of the situation!
In the chaos, Xia Yanxin desperately ran towards the door of the study, but after only a few steps, Long Yutian caught and lifted her up.
“Are you looking for death?” he angrily pinned her behind the door.
Xia Yanxin, panting heavily, stared at him, “Aren’t you going to put out the fire?”
Something seemed off about the plan.
Logically, he should have been putting out the fire first, considering the study contained a collection of valuable oil paintings.
She had planned to take the opportunity to escape while he was putting out the fire.
Instead, he hadn’t attempted to extinguish the flames, which seemed to him as though they were merely consuming a pile of worthless paper…
Rather, he had caught her first.
Long Yutian snatched the lighter from her hand, tore off a tie, and bound her hands together…
Meanwhile, the fire alarm bell in the study blared loudly, and sixteen fire sprinkler orifices on the ceiling opened automatically, dousing the room with cold water columns.
Within moments, the fire in the study was extinguished.
Her dress, soaked, clung to her body, outlining the delicate and full curves of the young girl.
Her wet black hair was messily draped around her, and on her porcelain-like little face, a pair of surprised and bewildered eyes flickered, like a lost rabbit. New chapters come out on novelping dot com first.
Shivering in his arms, she had a vulnerable beauty.
The anger he initially felt was cast aside, and he impulsively kissed her lips.
Her lips were cool, and the sweet breath in her mouth was irresistible…
Hearing the noise, Monica pushed the door open and was stunned by the scene before her.
Long Yutian, drenched, was passionately kissing Xia Yanxin against the wall, heedless of the fact that the study floor was covered with over a foot of water…
“Ahem, Master, the water pipe is clogged, we need to clear the water!” Monica coughed lightly.
Long Yutian started, then stopped what he was doing.
What had gotten into him?
He had uncontrollably kissed her again.
In front of this detestable woman, he had lost control once more.
Xia Yanxin, gasping for breath, glared at him for a few moments before looking around and finally spoke uneasily, “So you installed such an advanced fire suppression system?”
“Nonsense, the study is worth billions; what’s the problem with installing a fire suppression system?
However, that’s none of your damn business…
Stupid woman, your time of death has come!” His wet black hair stuck to his sharp forehead, it was an incredibly handsome face that could stun both heavens and hells, now with a hint of a wicked charm…
It was just those dark, angry eyes, swollen with rage, that instilled a trace of fear in Xia Yanxin’s heart.
Yet suddenly, she felt she didn’t understand him anymore.
Just moments ago, his fury seemed to be that of a man ready to devour someone, but then he passionately kissed her.
“Hey, Long, I never took your Dragon Ring; you can’t do this to me!”
At this point, whatever she said was meaningless; he wasn’t listening to her anymore…
Her hands were tied behind her, her body thoroughly drenched, her dress clinging to her.
He pushed her forcefully, causing her to stagger multiple times, almost falling down…
Falling into the hands of this pervert, her life began to turn for the worse.
“Bang…”
In the gloomy basement, the iron door shut with a resounding clang.
The murky and inexplicable light overhead, a person knelt on the concrete floor, their head covered with a black plastic bag, their face unrecognizable, akin to a captured terrorist.
Long Yutian grabbed Xia Yanxin by the collar of her dress and pulled her into his arms.
He raised his gun with one hand, aiming at the person’s head…
He fired without hesitation, and after a low grunt, the person fell to the ground, blood flowing from their head towards Xia Yanxin’s feet.
She was terrified.
The violent scene she had witnessed on the cruise, where the woman was shot dead, resurfaced in her mind.
Everything felt so real.
She could almost feel the pain of the bullet passing through her own head, and the thick smell of blood made her stomach churn…
“Woman, this is your last chance.
If you don’t speak now, you’ll end up like him!!”
His large hand gripped her neck like a vise, his roaring voice echoed like thunderous wrath, shaking her eardrums.
She broke out in a cold sweat, her body shaking like a leaf, her face pale with fright…
“Speak quickly, or I’ll kill you!” he roared, pressing the cold, hard muzzle against her head.
“Bang…”
The trigger clicked, and she slumped down limply.
